A panel has been constituted to scrutinize renovation and maintenance work undertaken at the Chief Minister's bungalow during the AAP government's administration, officials said. The committee, led by BJP MLA Ajay Mahawar, will examine the scope of construction activities and review expenditures charged against public funds allocated for the property's upkeep.
The inspection comes as part of broader efforts to audit spending on government residences and official properties. The panel is expected to cross-reference bills, contracts, and work completion reports to determine whether financial outlays were justified and properly documented.
The development revives scrutiny over the maintenance and renovation of high-profile government properties in Delhi. Previous controversies surrounding official residences have drawn public attention to transparency in government spending on such facilities.
Officials said the committee will submit findings detailing the nature of work performed, timeline of completion, and comparative cost analysis. The outcome may inform future oversight mechanisms for official property management across the state administration.
